Love this bigger painting Sam, such great memoirs for both of you. I think it’s a framer to have in your shared art studio.

Thanks, Thea! I need another with an Ian story and I might do that! Hang both together. ❤️

I would love to hear a session where you talk about approaching a larger canvas. I’m trying to now and I’m oddly really intimidated even though I never used to work small, now I only do sketchbook size and going big seems like a harrowing endeavor.

It took a while to try. Working with something I had already drawn and then just made larger was helpful. I am happy to discuss in our next meetup!

I love the perspective of this big drawing, Sam! I feel like I’m sitting in the subway train while this person is standing in front of me. Wish I could celebrate your new book with you. I’ll be there in spirit!

You should the same large art and make multiple versions with your books featured. Then you can frame each one.

That’s a great idea, Christina!

Very meta, too since I illustrated the covers. Now you have me thinking… :)

I thought so. You’re welcome! I can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Will see if I get around to it. Maybe I paint a stack of the books ☺️

That’s another possibility. You have plenty of time.
